FGMM 308 Brass

[deltawiskey]

I have a bunch of FGMM brass that I fired out of a bolt gun, I'm thinking reload once and then toss?
Anyone have experience with reloading FGMM and want to pass along some tips...
Thank you!

Why toss it after one loading? Use it until it cracks or primers get loose.

Ive got at least two loadings out of some of mine, expecting more to come.

Im using some pretty mild loads no issues.

My past practice has been to send brass out for annealing after three firings. Havent had FGMM loaded to three firings yet.

Load it up and shoot some dot drills

Unless you're running some stupid crazy hot load you should get settled several loadings out of it, especially if you're annealing and not oversizing it.

Good deal! Sounds great, thank you all for the replies!!

Just don't shoot it through your M240B, all bets are off than.

The newer 308 Federal GMM brass that has the blue primer lacquer is much better brass than the older brass. You can expect several loading out of it.

Good to know! This is all new production with the blue lacquer.

I've gotten at least 4 reloads with my FGMM brass. I'd follow the advice of spife7980.
